Council member Tim McCosker said the buildings provide “a tangible link to the Japanese American story,” and supporters at the meeting urged the city to formally protect the structures to ensure they are commemorated for their historical role in the fishing industry.

The designation recognizes the buildings as part of Terminal Island’s commercial and residential history. Before World War II, more than 3,000 Japanese Americans lived on Terminal Island and the area once had a busy commercial center on Tuna Street, the council briefing said. Supporters said the two buildings are the last physical reminders of that community in the city’s records.

The motion to designate the two structures was recorded on the council agenda; the meeting transcript states that the council “voted to designate 2 Terminal Island buildings as historic cultural monuments,” but it does not list a mover, seconder or a recorded roll‑call tally in the excerpt provided. The outcome in the transcript is described as approved. The Terminal Islander preservation initiative said protecting the structures will ensure Japanese American stories of immigration and resilience are formally commemorated.

The transcript did not include details about subsequent preservation steps, funding for maintenance or the dates when plaque installation or stabilization work would begin. The preservation group and council materials were cited in general terms but no ordinance number or Municipal Code citation was given in the excerpt.

Preservation advocates at the meeting called for formal commemoration to prevent demolition or neglect, noting the community and cultural value of keeping the buildings accessible as part of Terminal Island’s history. The council action, as recorded in the public segment of the program, commits the city to the monument designation but leaves follow‑up implementation details to future staff reports or council direction that were not included in the transcript.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","City Council Meeting SAP - 9/3/25","oneSentenceSummary","The Los Angeles City Council voted to designate two Terminal Island buildings as Historic‑Cultural Monuments on Aug. 18, 2025, preserving what officials described as the last two remaining structures tied to the island’s pre‑World War II Japanese American fishing community.","taxTitle","Spanish, Los Angeles City, Los Angeles County, California","taxId",80599,"location","California","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6502840,"Community roundup: Dodgers scholarships, 818 Day, fountain reopening and summer programs",136,296000,432000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5711126-d8b5140b8e92bae2ad21e94a88ae83ce&start=296&end=432","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5711126-d8b5140b8e92bae2ad21e94a88ae83ce/thumbnail_296000.jpg","/articles/6502840/California/Community-roundup-Dodgers-scholarships-818-Day-fountain-reopening-and-summer-programs","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6502840-ee245c3a25d83e58821887277b7ae22b/orig.mp4?Expires=1771184036&Signature=KV52CjQdTqq6etl9m0sB2wQhwIedMGwLb9reD7koeMcHkgr5BW1MH9OjcUzKpkHbyGtAnLkmApRlRZSBl4iupw2DTHyuBZD3CpdL8Yw5XunZjsUyktZLkSzwNMt9j3K~-XA6uX8RURegfc221ynZnboFiGC9mJ7qNLRUnjAxy9lPv4dtDc1CTBtzsvP5FzhzJXtHz27qL-u6NofhSXvpeym9e-7x~vhRscq02O5uq2iL21d9lpzIH89QJSO9mSnnC16L62MWQT0jHdZFObPCI6EDrKmlB3QYer3WW5JVrUoa7v7bzDXpHfElhsdbcsUOGVPIW2kmGYyucteCa7xgkQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","A series of community events across Los Angeles highlighted youth programs, cultural celebrations and civic reopenings during the week of Aug. 18, 2025.

The Los Angeles Dodgers Foundation unveiled its 2025 class of legacy scholars, awarding scholarships to students headed to colleges including UCLA and USC. The program, launched after the 2022 MLB All‑Star Game hosted at Dodger Stadium, continues an annual commitment to support local students, the presenter said. One scholar, identified as Heidi Lopez, was noted as attending UCLA with support from the Boys & Girls Club of Metro L.A.

Mayor Karen Bass marked 8/18 (“818 Day”) with a roundtable and visits to businesses in the San Fernando Valley, calling the day an opportunity to spotlight the Valley’s neighborhoods, communities and businesses. Bass’s outreach included a new Valley advisory board comprised of local leaders, the program reported.

In San Pedro, the Port of Los Angeles and LA Harbor Commissioners joined a reopening ceremony for the fanfare fountain at Gateway Plaza. Officials launched the fountain’s first public show since it closed for repairs; the fountain uses recycled water and can jet up to 100 feet, and public displays run every 30 minutes from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m., the segment said.

The Lincoln Heights Youth Art Center concluded a five‑week summer camp with a performance for families. Program staff described classes in music, visual arts and movement for children ages roughly 6–17 and said the center serves about 200 students per week during class sessions. Young participants thanked instructors by name — including Pablo, Elise, Joy and Josiah — and family members attended the culminating showcase.

Hansen Dam hosted a poolside movie night showing Moana 2 as a free, family event during a heat wave; the facility hosts water features, slides and an obstacle course and was described as having capacity for more than 3,000 attendees. Harbor City Recreation’s Summer Night Lights program and other neighborhood events offered free activities, food, sports, arts and giveaways to keep families engaged and provide safe spaces through summer evenings.

Other cultural items in the week’s roundup included community exhibitions at the William Grant Still Art Center and public programs at the Los Angeles Public Library highlighting Asian Pacific film and oral‑history collections.

These events were presented in a weekly city program segment; the transcript provides descriptions and participant remarks but does not include event budgets, attendance counts beyond programary estimates, or follow‑up implementation details.","A batch of community events and programs in Los Angeles included the Los Angeles Dodgers Foundation’s 2025 scholarship class, Mayor Karen Bass’s 818 Day visits to the San Fernando Valley, reopening of the fanfare fountain in San Pedro, youth arts center summer showcases, and multiple Summer Night Lights and movie‑at‑the‑pool events.","actionData","errors"]
